Masters of Motoring 2025 confirms the return of Footman James Insurance as presenting partner, alongside Deacons Jewellers and Chicane Marketing for its third annual event, scheduled for June 7-8th at Castle Combe Race Circuit and Bowood House & Gardens in Wiltshire. The prestigious automotive event expands its format to include a weekend classic car run through South-West England.
Footman James Insurance, a leading name in automotive insurance, returns as the presenting partner, with the event now officially titled the “Masters of Motoring 2025 presented by Footman James.” The partnership extends across all twelve sister events organised by Great British Motor Shows which hosts a dozen other dates at venues around the country.
“We are delighted to have Footman James back on board again this year for the Masters of Motoring and, indeed, for our entire event season,” says GBMS Director, Steve Bishop. “Their name is synonymous with first class service to the enthusiast vehicle sector – whether you have one car or an entire collection and it is great to have them associated with us once again this year.”

Deacons, the Swindon-based family jewellers with a 176-year heritage, returns as official Jewellery partners. Their stand, positioned near the VIP Hospitality Area, will showcase fine jewellery from Italian brand Fope, their ‘Deacons for Diamonds’ collection, and luxury timepieces from Bremont, Tudor, and TAG Heuer.
The VIP enclosure, set against Bowood House’s backdrop, will again be branded by Chicane Marketing. Chicane Director Gary Barak notes, “Our programme of celebrating 25 years continues apace and those who participated last year were all impressed by the quality of their afternoon tea. The networking opportunities presented at these events have led to new business connections, adding significant value to our partnership.”
In a significant development, Masters of Motoring announces a new motorsport partnership with 19-year-old Maurice Henry, a rising star who has dominated the Junior Saloon Car Championship and won the Britcar Trophy Championship. Henry joins Fiesta Champion Henry Howarth as the event’s second young driver ambassador.
